SLICK (8) recorded another win last time, scoring by a long neck over this journey at Ascot, making it two straight wins. Looks well placed again here. TOO MUCH TALK (1) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 0. 7 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 6f at Bunbury. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is sure to play a big role. UNCLE GERARD (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 24 when beaten 5 lengths into tenth at Ascot over 1m. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. CHOUX SHOE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Pinjarra Scarpside, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
